Thanks a Million!

With The Bike-sharing World Map's 1,000,000th page view within reach, its popularity has far exceeded our expectations. When I founded The Bike-sharing Blog in May 2007, it quickly became evidentthat The Blog needed a companion graphic to track the growth of the field in a complementary way. So in October 2007, I launched The Bike-sharing World Map to compile all the cities planning and launching a service that I wrote about in the Blog. Not too long after the Map was created, this companion piece took over as the more often viewed site and the Blog actually became the companion to the Map! Russell Meddin joined me in 2008 and assists in keeping the Blog and the Map up-to-date in the rapidly changing world of bike-sharing where new services seemingly launch every week.

We thank our readers for supporting both The Bike-sharing World Map and The Bike-sharing Blog and look forward to the next million views and all the new services that will come on-line during that time.
